The Convention People’s Party (CPP) Flag bearer, Mr Ivor Kobina Greenstreet, continued his campaign in the Northern Region, pledging communities in the region to address their water challenges as well as improve irrigation farming in the region.

He visited some communities at Gushiegu, Nanton, Savelugu, Nyankpala and many others struggling to deal with acute water shortage. Mr Greenstreet said his government would find a lasting solution to the water crisis facing the region.
His 21-day tour has taken him to the Greater Accra, Eastern, Western, Brong Ahafo and now the Northern region, where he has been meeting the traditional authorities and also holding rallies.
The party is counting on its impressive crowd at their rallies in some of the constituencies to cause an upset in the region. The CPP presidential candidate considers the Northen Region as one of their strongholds in the past and the party has to recapture it.
Though the Northern Region is big, with tough terrains and sometimes bumpy and dusty roads, Mr Greenstreet expressed the hope that a week of campaigning in the region would unlock the party’s fortunes as it strove to recapture the minds and hearts of the electorate.
Journey in the north
The campaign train has taken Mr Ivor Greenstreet to Mion, Saboba, Tatale, Gushiegu, Tolon, Nanton, Savelugu, North Tamale, Tamale Central, Tamale South and Sagnerigu.
He is set to continue to Bukprugu, Yonyoo, Nareligu, Wawale, Daboya  and Yagaba Kubori. He will also tour the Upper East and the Upper West regions before returning to Accra by November 28 for the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC) Presidential Encounter.
He has continued with the party’s Apamfoforo (to wit the New Covenant) and the Sankofa change message.
New dawn
“The people of the Northern Region, having seen eight years of both the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC), should see that these two parties have not been able to deliver the kind of changes they should see in their daily lives.”
“It is only the CPP that can bring a new dawn in their lives. It is only the CPP that can bring economic freedom and also utilise the great wealth of the nation’s oil, gas, cocoa, timber,  gold and diamond,  bauxite, fertile lands, access to water resources in favour of all Ghanaians.
“It is only under the CPP that the divisiveness, vindictiveness and rancour that has characterised  the political landscape of the two parties could change and shift to discussions about development, opportunity and light for Ghanaians,” he told the Daily Graphic.
Traditional leaders
Mr Greenstreet and his entourage, which included the Third Vice-Chairman, Alhaji Ahmadu Tijani; the National Organiser, Mr Emmanuel Ogborjor and the National Campaign Coordinator, Mr Rashid Alao, put their case before a number of traditional leaders in the region, including the Chief of Nyankpala, Nyankpala Lana Abdulai Yakubu Andani; the Regent of Tolon, Major Yakubu Sulemana (Retd); the Chief of Tamale, Dakpema Naa Alhassan Dawuni; the Paramount Chief of Kanvilli, Naa Mumuni Naporo and the Paramount Chief of Sanerigu

Need an Auto Loan? Monday, April 2, 2012, pg 20

KOJO  wakes up at 3 a.m. everyday to avoid being caught up in the long queue at the lorry park and he wished this could be over soon. Ama is always late for work. Her excuse? Besides having to take care of her family’s needs every morning, she lives too far away from her work place and its hellish getting a car to the office. Michael has tons of bills to pay monthly, yet he is tired of boarding trotros and taxis to the office.. He has lost several important documents and even money on some occasions in the unreliable public transport. In all the above scenarios, the characters will certainly welcome their own cars; if they can afford one. But what if the costs of the cars are beyond them?  Well! That is why the banks and other financial institutions are available to help. But it is not that simple. As the demand for cars increase, some banks have developed loans mainly for the purchase of cars. So bingo! Auto loans are the answer. But who qualifies for an auto loan? Every...

Spiritual healers, men of God take over billboards, Monday, September 17, 2012, pg 32

SPIRITUAL healers have virtually taken over space of billboards across the country. This new trend is gradually overshadowing billboards of businesses, which used to be their preserve. From domineering larger-than-life structures through to miniature signposts, the traditional priests and priestesses, mallams and other traditional healers are competing for space with churches and the business community. Billboards advertising churches and shrines are on the increase along highways across the country, sometimes obstructing pedestrians and motorists alike. Advertisers Association of Ghana (AAG) figures estimate the minimum cost of producing a billboard at GH¢3,000 while the most priced is GH¢80,000. Proof that religion is a booming business in Ghana can be found in the increasing number of signposts and billboards advertising temples, churches and shrines promising career success, wealth, status in society, good marriages and problem-free visa acquisition, as well as booming b...
